Chapter 4
Ty’s POV
The next morning, I woke up to a bunch of pokes. Everyone was kneeling around me and poking me.
Crys and Kris were whispering and I heard Crys ask, “What if Ty ‘s secretly a girl?”
I jumped up and screamed ” I AM NOT A GIRL!”
Crys bursted out laughing. Kris and Crys dragged me downstairs chattering about how Jo wouldn’t let them eat food without me. When we got downstairs, I spotted Jo calmly sitting at the table looking kind of lonely. I felt kind of bad for her because everybody else had a friend in this place, and she didn’t.
I slipped into the chair next to her and asked, “Why so sad, JoJo Jello?”.
Crys aome over and poked her.
She began to sing really loudly, “BABABABABANANA!”
“No!” I shouted.
“POTATOOOOOO!” Crys yelled in my ear.
“Ugh...” I groaned. Justin and Jacob came downstairs arguing about pandas and kangaroos.
“I still think pandas are better! I mean one of them saved China!” Justin said.
“No way! Kangaroos are boss. They have pouches, they can also do KARATE!” Jacob argued.
“Pandas know kung fu!” Justin said.
Kris yelled “Guys! Ducks are awesome! I win, The End! Now eat!”
They obediently sat down and Crys gave them both a pancake with a smiley face on it.
“Seriously?” Justin asked.
“Well then! Hmpht!” Crys said. “Don’t eat this very lovely breakfast!”
I took a plate and put the pancake in front of my face. I started to eat it. I heard snickering, so I ate out two eyeholes. Jacob and Justin looked like they were laughing at me and Kris and Crys were off making more pancakes. I stuffed the rest in my mouth before they could say anything else. “Hey guys, I have to go to work today from 3 until 5 but before and after that we can go do something else.” I said.

I entered the tutoring center and I’m surprised by a recognizable scream. I saw Kris’s blond hair and Crys’s dark brown hair. “No! I need help. Not help with addition!” Kris screamed. I ran over and yelled "I AM SUPERMAN! I can help you random girl I have never ever met before in my whole life!"
We walked over to the table so I could sign and I asked her " Why are you here? You're not even stupid!?" . Crys began to laugh and Kris smacked her on the arm. "Well, I need some help on algebra..." She mumbled. We sat down at a desk and I said " Okay, let's start with a simple one. A triangle has the angles of x, x+3 and x+12. What is x?" Kris stroked her chin and pondered it " I don't know. Um... 136?" "Not really." Crys said to her. "Um... How about purple... Monkey? Oh! I got it! 42! The answer to the universe and everything in life!" I facepalmed and Crys began to crack up. Kris jumped up, grasped a beanbag chair and put it on Crys's head. "This might take some time..." I sighed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"GAH! I hate this!" Kris yelled.
"What is x if z is 20?" I asked, trying to stay patient.
" Is it 788890?" She asked, confused.
I pounded my head on the table, feeling frustrated.
" Well! Is it 788890?!" She asked again.
"NONONONONO!! YOUR STUPIDITY IS KILLING ME!" I shouted.
"THAT'S NOT VERY NICE!" Kris yelled back. "WELL IT IS KILLING ME!" I shouted.
All the other tutors were staring at us. Crys was sitting on the beanbag and was laughing as hard as she could. Kris shot her leg with a rubber band and turned back to me " Well, is it 78890 then?!"
I tried to calm down and said "No, the answer is 3. Not 78 or 7888 or whatever number you can possibly think of because you obviously didn't think of 3!" I shouted, "Why don't we try a new problem."
She said calmly "Okay, okay, I can do this." She took out a new sheet of paper.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm so bored!" Kris complained.
"C'mon, you're almost done!" I said.
"Uh.... Does it equal 45?" Kris wondered out loud.
"YES!" Crys and I cheered.
Cyrs moaned,” FOOOODD!!”
“I am so hungry!” I yelled.
“Fine then let’s get some grub.” Crys said.
“Grub?” Kris asked as we all walked out.
“Yeah… Its’s the slang for food- OOOF!” Crys said as she bonked her shoulder onto a pole. She immediately began to yell at it and I looked over at Kris and we dragged her away.
Outside, we saw Jacob and Justin waiting for us and playing cards.
“GO FISH!” Justin said triumphantly.
“AGAIN?” Jacob yelled.
He looked up and asked, “What?! This is like the 56th time he said that!”
I laughed and turned on the radio in the car. They packed up and we headed back to the house. Since it is summer, the sun set at like 8 so we were going to have the ever-so cliche summer barbecue.
